PCN Details
Description of Change:
Silicon Laboratories is continually building a product portfolio to meet our customers’ product
needs. As part of this ongoing process, the portfolio of the Si470x/3x-D60/D62 products is being
reconfigured to provide the best feature set at the lowest cost to meet our customers’ needs.
This PCN serves as notice that the Si470x/3x products will be segmented for AM/FM support using
D60 products and AM/FM/AUXIN support using D62 products. Differentiation of these features will
maximize the functionality of devices while allowing customers to order only the features they need
for their applications.
On the effective date of this PCN, the AUXIN function will no longer be tested on the Si470x/3x-D60
devices which currently support AM/FM/AUXIN. The AUXIN function will be supported and fully
tested on the Si470x/3x-D62 as an AM/FM/AUXIN device. Customers currently ordering D60
products that do not use AUXIN do not need to make any changes to their orders or applications.
Customers currently ordering D60 products that wish to continue to use the AUXIN feature should
convert their product orders based on the table provided below. The removal of AUXIN testing on
the D60 products will not affect performance, specifications, programming or any other aspect of
the D60 AM/FM modes.
The replacement part numbers in the table below provide drop-in replacement options for
customers wishing to convert their orders from D60 to D62 products.
The following data sheets have been updated to document the change in AUXIN support. All
product data sheets are available at www.silabs.com or through your authorized sales
representative.
